A package for creating plots, built on top of the Cairo rendering engine. An ambitious attempt to replace gnuplot. Monadic actions are used to configure a figure, which is a (rxc) array of subplots. Each plot displays a graph with optional heading, labels, legend, and annotations. The annotations themselves may be used to draw diagrams. A figure is preprocessed in preparation for rendering by the Cairo renderer. The Cairo library can be used to output the figure to PS, PDF, SVG, and PNG file formats, or to display the figure in a GTK Drawable context. (see package 'plot-gtk'). The preprocessed figure can be embedded as an arbitrary Cairo render, including in a diagram created with the diagram package. Conversely, arbitrary Cairo renders can be embedded in the data region of a Figure. The data series are type Data.Packed.Vector from hmatrix, which, when hmatrix is compiled with '-fvector', is a synonym for Data.Vector.Storable from the vector package and are thus compatible with packages such as statistics. The example in Graphics.Rendering.Plot can be viewed at http://code.haskell.org/plot/examples/perturbed-sine.png

THIS README COPIED FROM THE diagrams PACKAGE Graphics.Rendering.Plot provides an embedded domain-specific language (EDSL) for creating plots rendered with Cairo For some examples of use, see http://code.haskell.org/plot/examples . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To install the Plots library: 1. Get the dependencies The plots library uses Haskell bindings to the Cairo vector graphics library. In order to build the plots library, you will first need the following: * The Cairo library itself. This is probably available through your system's package manager and may even already be installed. On Ubuntu, for example, it is available from the 'libcairo' package. * The Haskell cairo bindings, which are packaged as part of gtk2hs. cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools cabal install gtk * The colour library, which is available from Hackage. If you use the cabal-install build option described below, the colour library will be downloaded and installed for you automatically. 2. Build * Option 1: use cabal-install If you have cabal-install, *after* installing gtk2hs, you can install plots and the remaining dependencies with cabal-install: cabal install plot Optionally, you can also pass options such as --user --prefix=$HOME to install locally. * Option 2: manual build Once all the dependencies are built and installed, you can build and install plots as follows: runhaskell Setup.lhs configure --prefix=$HOME --user runhaskell Setup.lhs build runhaskell Setup.lhs install (Optionally, you can omit the --prefix and --user arguments to the configure step, and run the install step with 'sudo' in order to install the library systemwide.) 3. Building Haddock documentation (recommended) runhaskell Setup.lhs haddock Once the documentation has been built, you can access it by pointing your browser to dist/doc/html/plot/index.html.
